97 Points - James Halliday | Very Limited Stocks
Helen's Hill of the Yarra Valley has emerged as one of the region's finest wineries with their Pinot Noir always leading the charge. The 2019 Helen's Hill The Smuggler Pinot Noir is a single vineyard wine made entirely from the Abel Pinot Noir clone.
Sourced from low lying, easterly facing vines at Helen’s Hill in Coldstream, this site allows for slow ripening giving the grapes a powerful, depth of flavour with plenty of red fruit flavours. This is a Pinot of vibrancy, structure and impressive length, which is sure to develop further complexity with more time in the bottle.
"97 Points. This is a striking and delicious wine, with fluid drive and line to its mix of dark cherries, spices and pomegranate. The balance between fruit, oak and is perfect, as is its length. Diam. 12.8% alc. Drink: 2023 - 2035. $60"- James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2023.
